DoE Head: 2 Ministries Causing Environmental Damage

Iran's once rich ecosystem has become a victim of ill-advised and harmful decisions in the past four decades and those in charge must be held accountable for the devastation of natural resources, the Department of Environment head said.
“Policymakers [still] do not believe in sustainable development and their uninformed decisions have had a major role in the dire situation,” Isa Kalantari was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Water and soil have been plundered and from what is known the DoE lacks the clout to take on the energy and agriculture ministries and hold them responsible for the unprecedented environmental disaster.
